-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer Lab fee will be required. The engineering technology student will become familiar with physical concepts in vectors, linear and rotational kinematics and dynamics, simple harmonic motion, and static and dynamic fluids through an algebra-based problem-solving approach. Class work is reinforced by weekly experiments in which he or she gains laboratory skills and experience in the analysis of data. Corequisite: MATH 150, College Algebra & Trigonometry.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer Lab fee will be required. This course is a continuation of Technical Physics I (PHYS 135), with the same problemoriented and laboratory approach. The student will study ideal gases, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and selected topics in modern physics. Prerequisites: PHYS 135, Physics I; MATH 150, College Algebra and Trigonometry. Corequisite: MATH 151, Analytic Geometry & Basic Calculus.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer Lab fee will be required. PHYS 140, Physics I and PHYS 141, Physics II constitute a one-year, high-level course in physics for transfer students. The basic ideas of physics are stressed, and presented in depth, particularly as they apply to the life sciences. Sufficientmathematics is presented so that the student can gain insight into both theory and application through problem solving. The laboratories are largely quantitative and stress applications. Topics include: classical mechanics, gravitation and fluids, and oscillations. Corequisite: MATH 160, Precalculus.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer Lab fee will be required. A continuation of PHYS 140, Physics I. Topics include: thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. Prerequisite: PHYS 140, Physics I.
-
3.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, DL Lab fee will be required. This course is a general survey of atmospheric sciences for non-science students. Through an understanding of science inquiry and the scientific method, students will develop a basic understanding of the processes that control weather and climate. Current events and issues in atmospheric sciences also will be discussed.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, DL Lab fee will be required. Earth materials, surface landforms and the earth's interior are covered non-mathematically. The processes of construction and destruction are emphasized. Specific topics include plate tectonics, stream erosion, mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Laboratory study includes rock and mineral identification, landscape interpretation from topographic maps and aerial photos, lab-period field trips, and an allday field trip to the Adirondacks.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring Lab fee will be required. This course treats the development of the earth and its seas, continents and mountains. The Earth's history is studied in chronological order, beginning with spacecraft data from the moon and planets and concluding with the events of the recent glaciation. Emphasis is on the ancient geography of North America and in particular the geologic history of eastern New York. Laboratory study includes sediment analysis, fossil identification, interpretation and construction of geologic maps, lab-period field trips, and an all-day field trip to the Catskills. Prerequisite: PHYS 145, Introduction to Geology.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer, DL Lab fee will be required. The first of four calculus-based general physics courses supporting the customary baccalaureate science or engineering degree requirement. Topics included are introductory vector algebra and calculus, translational and rotational kinematics and dynamics, and energy and momentum conservation laws. The theory is accompanied by a comprehensive laboratory in which clarification of basic principles and accuracy of data taking are stressed. Pre or Corequisite: MATH 180, Calculus I.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer, DL Lab fee will be required. A continuation of PHYS 150 General Physics I, in which the student studies gravitation, electric and magnetic fields, and DC and AC circuits. Prerequisite: PHYS 150, General Physics I.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer Lab fee will be required. This one-semester course will focus on the conceptual, cartographic and scientific underpinnings of GIS, emphasizing hands-on skills of data collection, manipulation, and presentation using GIS software. The laboratory focuses on using scientific method and critical thinking in the use of GIS for natural science applications through map-making, interpretation and spatial analysis. Pre- or co- requisite: MATH 150, College Algebra and Trigonometry.
